is she going to have to take any kind of a bullet for sebelius? but there are also reports she was left out of key decisions. do you think she really is just a warm-up act for the hhs secretary? >> she's a professional. my hunch is she'll be very straightforward. when you look in retrospect at that decision where you've got to create an account first, if you look at states where the exchanges seem to be working fine, where their websites are working fine, like kentucky, they let people shop first before they create the account. that looks like it was a better choice. and so i think she is going to be pressed on that. i suspect she'll be candid about it. i think that the obama administration's best path on this is to be -- is to be candid and say, you know, we made some mistakes here. we need to fix them. we're trying to fix them. but to say the underlying law can work. if you doubt that, look at all the states where it's actually working. >> there's another issue here, and that is who's going to be covered and who isn't. lisa myers reported for nb

you're on the committee that will question kathleen sebelius on wednesday. what does she have to say? how do you think the administration starts to turn this around? >> thank you for having me this morning. i think carl hit the nail on the head a moment ago. the affordable care act is the law of the land, it's fully operational. we have experienced some very difficult glitches with the website. it's embarrassing, but we're going to fix it. there are four components to the website. we had hearings last week and the different vendors testified that each one of these components was working properly, but when they were integrated in an end-to-end test they did not produce the results that we need. so the website has been recalled for repair, but it will be back out the door by november 30th and all of our uninsured americans can then sign up and get ready for full coverage. >> well, if that happens, as you've suggested, as we saw bill clinton suggest, let's talk about the second challenge here, and i want to put up a "new york times" headline. quote, health site

about this roll out for weeks, erin and there seemed like there was a change in tone from kathleen sebelius. we heard the same thing, frankly, from joe biden. so, is this kind of a new strategy to say, look, we're sorry. we take responsibility, but we're getting it fixed and this law is a good one. >> a rot of it will depend on the next few weeks. it the administration can fix the problems people have and the dislocations will seem less scary to americans because we've said, you know, the administration has said there is this huge change coming and they've defended it over and over again and now the execution is going to be put to the test. hundreds of thousands of people who are getting notices are not going to understand why their insurance is being canceled unless they sign up for new plans. >> the president pushed back on the whole concept which the republicans have been pounding over the last few days. let me play that for you. >> for the fewer than 5% of americans who buy insurance on your own, you will be getting a better deal. so anyone peddling the notion that they're canceling alm

secretary sebelius, thank you so very much for coming today. i would like to ask you about the document that my rip colleagues have just released. this document is an authority to operate memorandum, to operate the federally facilitated marketplace for six months and implement a security mitigation plan. this document, as i understand it, describes security testing for healthcare.gov. it says that security testing of the marketplace was ongoing since its inception and into september of this year. in fact it says that, quote, throughout the three rounds of security control assessment testing, all of the security controls have been tested on different versions of the system. that's good news. but the bad news is that it goes on to say that because of system readiness, a complete security assessment of all the security controls in one complete version of the system were not tested. this document indicates that cms postponed a final security assessment screening but in its place, cms did put in place a number of mitigation measures and it concluded
